    I stopped here while in the area and decided to try a Soup Flight for $12 it came with 3 mini cups of soup ( New England clam chowder, tomato and sausage and kale ) with oyster crackers. Soup was delicious and very filling. Staff were helpful and friendly when trying to figure out what to order. Food tasted very fresh here too. For a drink my partner got Samocha iced latte which came with caramel, mocha, coconut, with coconut cold foam, and coconut Flakes. It was delicious! Definitely would grab coffee and or food when around this coffee shop again. This coffee shop is connected to Conn. valley brewing too. Plenty of parking also.

    The attached brewery has lots of room and comfy seating, perfect for a girls meet up Line was long and food took a bit, but the atmosphere was great and staff were friendly. Can't wait to come back when the weather's nicer

    Coffee cake muffin to go

    Have been here before but came for the women's month market! They were very busy, the line was wrapped all the way to CT Valley Brewing. Purchased a bagel with bacon jalapeño cream cheese which was amazing and at a great price. And two muffins, the carrot cake one was to die for! The only complaint I have is that when standing in line you are not aware of the wait time for the hot food, is it up on the counter on a whiteboard and staff does not mention it to you at all. Coffee was great loved the Saint paddy's day line up offers. Plenty of space to hangout with friends and chat, and or study/work.

    Parking: huge lot Decor: fresh and clean, off to the side of a larger area that is a brewery (location is inside a brewery) quite brisk inside, most had long sleeves on. Staff: friendly but the speed of taking care of customers is on the slower side, normally a line. Menu: coffee selection limited to light, medium, dark. No french press option but they do offer a pour over. Overall: not bad but felt odd being in a brewery with louder music playing so not really conducive to getting work done. Also asked to buy a travel mug and they only sell coffee cups which I found odd.

    Finally made it up to Birdhouse Coffee on a rainy Saturday. Birdhouse Coffee has been on my list for a while, and I've been drawn to their Monthly Special drinks. Birdhouse Coffee and Connecticut Valley Brewing share the same space, which provides plenty of seating, both inside and out. Each section has its own vibe, continuing a classic, old-time aviation theme. It was fairly busy, but we were able to find a seat in the brewery area. Birdhouse Coffee offers both breakfast and lunch, along with their coffee and baked goodies. Unfortunately, we arrived too early for lunch--the kitchen switches over at 12 p.m. on Saturdays, and we arrived a little after 11:30 a.m. We settled on a rich Espresso Brownie Coffee Crumb Cake to pair with our specialty drinks. I tried the April Shower, which was so fitting for the day--an iced blue bellini tea (which I spotted on the shelf for purchase), honey, and topped with a sweet 'cloud.' It was light and not too sweet. My mom ordered the Blueberry Pancake Chai, which was also very good. The maple, cinnamon, and warm spices were perfect for the day. We'd definitely love to come back to try more of Birdhouse's coffee and some of their lunch or dinner items next time.

    Chicken salad wrap with tater tots

    Birdhouse Coffee is connected to the Connecticut Valley Brewing. We got a table at the Brewery and ordered food via online from the Birdhouse Coffee. There were seats in the coffee shop as well, but it was packed. The parking lot was big and it had plenty of spots. My husband and I both ordered a chicken salad wrap, he had it with fries, I had it with tater tots. They said it would be about a 20 to 30 minute wait and the food would be ready by 4:30; we understood since it was super busy, they also said that we would get a text when it's ready. By 4:50, we didn't get a text so my husband went to check with the counter and the food was ready a few minutes after. Aside from the wait, the chicken salad wrap was good, the tater tots were slightly soggy, not sure how long it was sitting. I'm planning to check out their coffee next time since we already had coffee from a different place. Also, I think it's a great idea that it's connected to a brewery; I didn't mind the wait as much since I had some beers in the meantime.

    Came to this wonderful coffee shop after the wedding of one of my friends and I really enjoyed the experience! Tried their banana pudding latte and it was delicious!!! I also loved their pistacchio muffin! The coffee shop also has a brewery right next to it with beer on tap, so it was quite nice to have the option to enjoy some coffee before some afternoon drinks! Wish I lived closer so I could come to this coffee shop again!

    Updated review: Early bird sandwich. Good but shocked it was half not whole (as menu led me to believe) for the price.
    Lauren D.

    I'd rate this at a 3.5 if I could, so they get a 4 with rounding. SERVICE still really good service, the girls at the counter were helpful with any questions I had. Offered suggestions on drinks. DRINK I enjoyed my drink, I got an iced peppermint mocha. Not the best peppermint drink I've ever had but I did enjoy it. In the past I got things with cold foam and felt it wasn't very foamy and not worth the price add on so I avoid now. FOOD I was really looking forward to my sandwich. I got the early bird sandwich and was excited as I love pesto and birdhouse does their eggs just how I like (over medium). I was shocked when I got my sandwich. For $10.50 I couldn't believe I got a half sandwich that they couldn't even be bothered to have the bread facing the same direction when they slapped it on the platter (along with a pink syrup-y splotches of something from another dish or drink on the paper). I know their menu offers half sandwiches but what I ordered called it a breakfast sandwich. There also was hardly a drizzle of the pesto aioli on there. Between a small drink and my food I paid almost $20. I did enjoy what I had but the value simply wasn't there for me. I would still go to birdhouse when they have their special market events because it does make the trip more worth it for me, but overall I won't go out of my way to get food/drink here.

    One of the best local places to go for cars and coffee (Sundays). Always a nice variety of cars and mature crowd. The coffee is good, pastries taste fresh. Prices are a little steep and they usually can't keep up w demand - a long wait is the norm here (don't get a brk sandwich and you'll get your order a LOT faster). But overall I love the atmosphere and people here. I've also stopped by on Saturday and it's very chill. Nice seating areas to sit and work or just relax w a friend.

    I've been meaning to try Birdhouse Coffee for a bit now, but was never close by.... aaaaand then one day, I had a client booking up in that area and I capitalized on it! The space is pretty cool as it's very open and connected to a brewery. The staff seemed like they were bothered to have to stop chatting in order to take a customer's order. As for the coffee, it was decent. I've been to quite a few coffee shops and usually order the same one or two drinks. In this case, the coffee itself (iced americano) was pretty good, but the cold foam just kind of dissolved into the coffee making it just a latte. If I return, I'll be skipping the foam.

    Sausage, pesto aoli, and egg breakfast burrito
    Kevin D.

    Pricy, but much improved. Came here again to try their food and drink. Today I got a great service and a good meal for the price. They have honed in their menu and switched to breakfast sandwiches with bakery items. The particular sandwich was a seared sausage disk of impressive thickness and good flavor. The cheese was present but not overpowering, and the egg was a perfect over medium. With just enough yolk ooze to mellow out the heavy cheese and sausage. The coffee is still very good. Strong enough to stand up to strong chocolate flavors but not skimp on the other flavors either. It also had enough sweetness to counteract the bitter and still have character. Not shown was a lemon poppyseed muffin. Which was relatively fresh, a very present but not obnoxious amount of lemon, a little sweet and very plentiful. A very good muffin for sure. It's a great improvement from what I've gotten before. They saw where they could improve and have done so. It's still pricy, the 3 items came up to 22 bucks. But the quality of the ingredients and dishes served justify the bill. Kudos to birdhouse coffee for the efforts for excellence, shaving you can give these guys a try!

    Been quite a few times and will say this, it's a coffee house and their coffee and coffee drinks are not good. Last time I'll step foot in this "coffee house"!! Silk City in Manchester/Daybreak in Glastonbury/Flour Girl in Hebron/Community Room Cafe in Newington/Rebel Dog in East Hartford/Radial Coffee in Vernon - as other local spots all have phenomenal coffee, great service and awesome foodies! How this place is still existing is beyond me. Maybe it's people who want to take that next, little step above Dunkin that are loving this place, I don't know. :D Stopped in again recently to give it another try, went to get a breakfast sammich and coffee. It was 11:30 a.m. and the staff said they just changed over to their lunch menu, apparently someone there just randomly decided that that morning. Their website and Facebook page both say breakfast served until noon. So instead I ordered a mocha which was basic and a pastry - a hard, stale coffee cake. I e-mailed them that day from the link on their webpage about the incident and a week later never got a response. Anyone getting a negative response from their customers should be responding with a 24-48 hour turnaround. I e-mailed again about having not gotten any response a few days later - still no answer, wow!! So these people clearly give absolutely zero f*cks about their food, their coffee, nor their customers!! Zero! Never again and I urge anyone to not waste their time here!

    "I walked in, the baker said everything was sold I found out…read moreshe saved me some sweet jelly roll Yes, the baker shop boogie" (Willie Nix) Since we're friends, let me ask you a personal question--so tell me this: what's your official dessert policy? Are you a "dessert is a human right" kind of person who enjoys something sweet every night after dinner? Do you ceremoniously pair your evening coffee with a treat like it's a sacred ritual? Or are you more of a free range snacker who grazes on cookies and pastries whenever the mood strikes? At our place, we've somehow drifted into the habit of having a bakery item most nights. Could be a cookie. Could be a pastry. Could be a slice of something. All this brings me to yesterday's visit to the Hartford Baking Company in South Windsor, where we are now pretty well stocked for a week's worth of upcoming desserts, and maybe a breakfast or two. They have four locations in the Greater Hartford area, all selling the same amazing product line of bread, ciabatta, and rolls. But for the sweet tooth fiends out there, well get psyched for their scones, muffins, Walnut Coffee Cake, Financiers (a French almond cookie), brownies and bars, cookies, biscotti, shortbreads, Danish, Cinnamon buns, Pecan-Walnut Sticky Buns, Brioche Pastries, fruit tarts, and quiches. We were running errands in South Windsor yesterday, popped into Hartford Baking, and walked out with a bounty of wonderful looking goodies- brownies, a croissant, a chocolate banana muffin, a rectangular Financier, and a slice of coffee cake. We should be set for a while in the dessert department. I had the Financier last night, and never having heard of the word before, I consulted the old Google machine for some research and found a very cool origin-story. In the late 1800's there was a pastry shop located near the Paris Stock Exchange. The shop sold very popular small almond cakes that were baked in small rectangular molds resembling gold bars. They were a hit with the busy bankers who frequented his shop. The name "financier" stuck because of both the clientele and the gold bar shape. I have to tell ya, that Financier was amazing. It was dense and delicious and overflowing with almond flavor. I loved it. I also had a teense of the Banana Muffin this morning, and it was excellent as well. Loved that banana flavor and those chocolate chips. OK, so file away "Hartford Bakery" on your short list of "must visit" dessert destinations, because I assure you that you'll walk out a satisfied customer.

They are located in what appears to be a little house. There's parking in the front for around four vehicles, on my way out I realized they have a substantial parking lot in the rear. The inside is super cute with hardwood floors, wooden furniture and comfy seating. It's not super spacious, but comfortable for a date or a solo adventure. At Radial they roast their own coffee beans. They had some pastries, but not many, probably because it was after 2:00 o'clock. For my coffee I got the Honey Maple Latte. The barista said I could take a seat, she would bring it to me. Well, it's a good thing she brought it over, because I would have spilled it. The presentation was lovely. It came in a navy ceramic cup with a saucer, with a design on top. This was one of the smoothest and creamiest coffees I've had in a while. From the texture of the latte its self, to the flavor, it is very smooth, in a way lux. The flavor was there but in a very organic way, nothing is too sugary. This was a very pleasant experience at Radial.
